If it moves with life, and even if it doesn't most often, I can see it.

Nothing will have the element surprise, I can assure you that much.
[ don't worry baby he's got u ]

I probably don't want to know how, so I won't ask.
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
There's a lot of things here I still don't understand. Probably never will.
no subject
You know what gives me that sort of sight. You felt it for yourself.
from: attano.corvo@cdc.org
I can share that frustration, at least.
no subject
Don't remind me. I still get headaches thanks to that.
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
Not sure whether I should find comfort in that or not.
no subject
And you make my skin crawl.
from: attano.corvo@cdc.org
Nor I, but it seems all we have in that regard.
no subject
Well, good to know we both unintentionally make each other miserable.
no subject
I've seen relations built on half that amount of mutuality.
no subject
You'd be lucky to even get half in a place like the City.
no subject
Never mind this much food.

If we had the nobles everything would be set.
[And he would steal everything while people were being dumb. :V]
no subject
By all technicality, I believe I fall into the category.
no subject
You don't have anything worth stealing.
no subject
Not anymore, at least.
no subject
Not anymore.
[And he's not too happy about it.]

You're one of the few, I'd think, who doesn't.
no subject
Such is the freedom of losing everything, at least. Or at least freedom from thieves.
from: attano.corvo@cdc.org
I could find something for you and leave it out if you like? I am sure someone here has frivolous jewels?
no subject
Always something that keeps you tied down, even when you lose everything.

And have the instructors after my hide? Pass. I've thought about it more times than I can count- it's not worth the trouble.
no subject
I have not been living for myself for some time now, but I doubt that is a surprise to most.
[ which is saying a lot, all things considered. ]
from: attano.corvo@cdc.org
I'd say not.
[ if only he had that much self restraint when he saw Daud. ]
no subject
I've noticed. You need to work on that.

You're one of the few. Too many hero-types.
no subject
They're not something I've become familiar with in recent memory.
[ there are no heros in dunwall, lbh here. ]
no subject
All the better. Less disappointment.
[The supposed "hero" for the City went mad and tried to heal people by nearly killing them with the presence of an ancient power.
...Yeah. No such thing as heroes there, either.]
no subject
Something like that.
